iPod game review: Musika

It's fair to say games aren't a crucial feature for iPods in terms of attracting buyers. For that reason, the gaming aspects of Apple's multimedia player have been distinctly low-profile, with new releases on iTunes rarely heralded by much advance publicity or hype.

Yet the iPod catalogue is building up steam slowly, including getting some original games to fit alongside the well-known casual brands that have come out from the likes of EA Mobile and Namco. The latest such brave title is Musika, an original iPod game that's the work of PaRappa The Rapper creator Masaya Matsuura.
